Born and raised in Cenrtral Austin. Raising my own son is South. Where can I find the cemetery you drew inspiration from on your song "Temporary?" Having my own son, I am beginning to think of my own inability to, in the end, avoid mortality. Thank you for any leads.

We used to live next to Oakwood Cemetery, just east of I-35, south of MLK. Lots of characters in there: Prosper Humbert, Ashley Smoot, Ima Hogg, Tinsley Simcock, Olivia Manlove . . .
